As with everything else most of this generated data and its analysis, synthesis is wasted and is totally superfluous.
Each individual, company, nation produces and collects its own data, creating firewalls around them, spying on each other due to the global distrust and paranoia.
Most of the data collected is either for "self-protection" or "against someone", either regarding "personal existence" or "business interest".
We are going to drown in our own information ocean, even planned quantum computers will not be able to digest it, or even if the computers can, we humans will be unable, we are already unable to use what we have generated and collected.
Again the problem is not with the system, or data production/collection capabilities, hardware, but the problem is with the user.
We already have a ready made "super-computer" that could perfectly and efficiently generate and digest all the data we need and always use it the most optimal way.
This super-computer is the "wisdom of the crowd", or a potential human, mutual awareness, mutual mind.
We already have the "hardware" for it, the globally interconnected and interdependent human network, where each of us are like individual workstations, but so far each and everybody is afraid to open up the channels and plug into the main-frame.
It is actually crazy that we are standing in front of the single most important evolutionary step in human history and we not only hesitate to take the last step towards it, but we actually try to run away from this unprecedented opportunity.
Since this is an evolutionary step we do not really have a free choice whether we accept the invitation or not, but we can choose to enter this global human network willingly, in a pleasant, swift and benevolent way, using it consciously in full awareness, or we can be forced by further crisis, collapsing human systems, more and more unsolvable suffering worldwide.

Some 90% of the world’s total data were created in the past two years. By 2020, the quantity of stored data could be 50 times greater than it was in 2010. Can the author be kind enough to tell us where he found such a Data??

In the first year of his presidency, Donald Trump has consistently sold out the blue-collar, socially conservative whites who brought him to power, while pursuing policies to enrich his fellow plutocrats.

Sooner or later, Trump's core supporters will wake up to this fact, so it is worth asking how far he might go to keep them on his side.

A Saudi prince has been revealed to be the buyer of Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi," for which he spent $450.3 million. Had he given the money to the poor, as the subject of the painting instructed another rich man, he could have restored eyesight to nine million people, or enabled 13 million families to grow 50% more food.

While many people believe that technological progress and job destruction are accelerating dramatically, there is no evidence of either trend. In reality, total factor productivity, the best summary measure of the pace of technical change, has been stagnating since 2005 in the US and across the advanced-country world.

The Bollywood film Padmavati has inspired heated debate, hysterical threats of violence, and a ban in four states governed by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party – all before its release. The tolerance that once accompanied India’s remarkable diversity is wearing thin these days.

The Hungarian government has released the results of its "national consultation" on what it calls the "Soros Plan" to flood the country with Muslim migrants and refugees. But no such plan exists, only a taxpayer-funded propaganda campaign to help a corrupt administration deflect attention from its failure to fulfill Hungarians’ aspirations.

French President Emmanuel Macron wants European leaders to appoint a eurozone finance minister as a way to ensure the single currency's long-term viability. But would it work, and, more fundamentally, is it necessary?

The US decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel comes in defiance of overwhelming global opposition. The message is clear: the Trump administration is determined to dictate the Israeli version of peace with the Palestinians, rather than to mediate an equitable agreement between the two sides.
